Over Two Decades Of Holding Insurance Companies Accountable

Helping Tech Workers With Their Disability Insurance Claims

The Bay Area is well-known as a hub of the tech industry. Many extremely successful companies have their headquarters in the region, and employ thousands of workers with different types of expertise. These employees have very demanding jobs, and often find themselves working under tight deadlines to turn a project around as fast as possible.

Unfortunately, many of these workers often suffer from serious injuries that result from working in such a fast-paced environment. Repetitive stress injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, and other disabling conditions can make it impossible for workers to be able to perform their jobs.

These employees may have insurance policies that cover
disabilities. These policies may either be provided by the employer, or the employee may purchase these policies independently. If the insurer fails to honor its obligations, it may be possible for the employees to seek compensation against them for their illegal actions.

What We Can Do For You

At Pillsbury & Coleman, LLP, our lawyers have helped many California tech workers in suits against their disability insurance providers. When you meet with one of our attorneys, you will be provided with a clear overview of your options, and you will have the opportunity to ask questions about your case.

We examine your case to determine if:

Your insurance company is not honoring the policy

Your insurance company is denying your claim in bad faith

Your insurance company is refusing to pay to delaying payment that you should receive

We will attempt to negotiate with the insurer who is involved in your case. In some situations, this may lead to a positive resolution of your case before litigation becomes necessary. However, in the event that this is not possible, we have a long record of success handling these cases at trial. We have gone up against many of the major insurance companies who do business in the state, recovering millions for our past clients.
